Book excerpt: This is the thirty first volume in the Complete The Famous Quote series.Wise people have, for thousands of years, been able to say wise things using the minimum of words. We look at the aphorisms they left behind, and wish that we were as wise.This book will see if you can guess some of the most pithy, witty sayings of all time, given only half of the letters in each quote, and their relative placement. As you keep solving each clue, you will see that reconstructing a few words in each quote helps you get closer to guessing the entire sentence. Have fun, and may you leave behind sayings just as witty as these, one day!Your daily dose of inspiration and motivationThe quotes in this book are both witty and thought-provoking. Once you have uncovered all their secrets, you will be ready to go and conquer the world! Think of it like a dose of hot, strong coffee - but for your mind instead of for your body.If you're stuck at home or on a long commute, this is idealIf you want to take your mind off tedium, a book of word puzzles is the best way to go!A unique book of puzzlesMany motivational books lay out their content in front of you, and ask you to go through a lot of well meaning, inspiring words and quotes. At the end of that, you feel virtuous and determined, but it doesn't always last, because you haven't had to work to discover the source of the wisdom, and you haven't put in the time to reflect on the lessons learned from those wise words.This book is different. Yes, it is packed to the brim with clever sayings and witty words, but you aren't given those up front. Instead, you have to use your word gaming skill to guess what each quote could be, and this delayed gratification will help you take those words to heart, and to remember them longer than you otherwise might have. As you while away idle hours, you're also filling up your motivation gas tank!Quotes that will change your lifeThe sayings in this book are chosen from among the most witty and thoughtful quotations of all time. You will find quotes for leaders, quotes about living, quotes about women, quotes about men, quotes about animals...the list goes on. Whether you want to use this as a puzzle book and actually try guessing each quote, or just want to read through the answers (the completed quotations) and marvel at the ability of philosophers of the past and of the modern day to say complicated things in a single sentence, this book has something for you!Puzzles and games for adults and childrenIf you do want to exercise your grey cells, this book will give you plenty of opportunities. Any given clue can be solved at different levels: you might already know the quote on which that particular clue is based, in which case the solution is trivial. You might not know the quote, but you can use your vocabulary to figure out each individual word from the fragments that are given to you, and thereby complete the quote piece by piece. Finally, you might just use pattern recognition skills to solve a couple of words in the entire sentence, and then complete it based on what your brain thinks the quotation should be.Difficult riddles and graded difficultyIn general, within a given chapter, the difficulty of the clues you have to solve increases gently from the first to the last clue. Also, over the entire book, the clues get a little shorter (shorter sentences are harder to decipher), and the words get a little harder to guess. If you make it all the way to the end, you are a genius.

Download or read book The Churchill Factor written by Boris Johnson and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Read how Britain's new Prime Minister was inspired by Winston Churchill** 'The must-read biography of the year.' Evening Standard 'He writes with gusto... the result is a book that is never boring, genuinely clever ... this book sizzles.' The Times The point of the Churchill Factor is that one man can make all the difference. On the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of Winston Churchill's death, and written in conjunction with the Churchill Estate, Boris Johnson explores what makes up the 'Churchill Factor' - the singular brilliance of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays - with characteristic wit and passion - a man of multiple contradictions, contagious bravery, breath-taking eloquence, matchless strategizing, and deep humanity. Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the King to stay out of action on D-Day; he embraced large-scale strategic bombing, yet hated the destruction of war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was famous for his ability to combine wining and dining with many late nights of crucial wartime decision-making. His open-mindedness made him a pioneer in health care, education, and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect. Most of all, as Boris Johnson says, 'Churchill is the resounding human rebuttal to all who think history is the story of vast and impersonal economic forces'. The Churchill Factor is a book to be enjoyed not only by anyone interested in history: it is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a great leader.

Download or read book Industry 4 0 and Circular Economy written by Antonis Mavropoulos and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the marriage of Industry 4.0 and the Circular Economy can radically transform waste management—and our world Do we really have to make a choice between a wasteless and nonproductive world or a wasteful and ultimately self-destructive one? Futurist and world-renowned waste management scientist Antonis Mavropoulos and sustainable business developer and digital strategist Anders Nilsen respond with a ringing and optimistic “No!” They explore the Earth-changing potential of a happy (and wasteless) marriage between Industry 4.0 and a Circular Economy that could—with properly reshaped waste management practices—deliver transformative environmental, health, and societal benefits. This book is about the possibility of a brand-new world and the challenges to achieve it. The fourth industrial revolution has given us innovations including robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D-printing, and biotech. By using these technologies to advance the Circular Economy—where industry produces more durable materials and runs on its own byproducts—the waste management industry will become a central element of a more sustainable world and can ensure its own, but well beyond business as usual, future. Mavropoulos and Nilsen look at how this can be achieved—a wasteless world will require more waste management—and examine obstacles and opportunities such as demographics, urbanization, global warming, and the environmental strain caused by the rise of the global middle class. · Explore the new prevention, reduction, and elimination methods transforming waste management · Comprehend and capitalize on the business implications for the sector · Understand the theory via practical examples and case studies · Appreciate the social benefits of the new approach Waste-management has always been vital for the protection of health and the environment. Now it can become a crucial role model in showing how Industry 4.0 and the Circular Economy can converge to ensure flourishing, sustainable—and much brighter—future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductors are at the heart of modern living. Almost everything we do, be it work, travel, communication, or entertainment, all depend on some feature of semiconductor technology. Comprehensive Semiconductor Science and Technology, Six Volume Set captures the breadth of this important field, and presents it in a single source to the large audience who study, make, and exploit semiconductors. Previous attempts at this achievement have been abbreviated, and have omitted important topics. Written and Edited by a truly international team of experts, this work delivers an objective yet cohesive global review of the semiconductor world. The work is divided into three sections. The first section is concerned with the fundamental physics of semiconductors, showing how the electronic features and the lattice dynamics change drastically when systems vary from bulk to a low-dimensional structure and further to a nanometer size. Throughout this section there is an emphasis on the full understanding of the underlying physics. The second section deals largely with the transformation of the conceptual framework of solid state physics into devices and systems which require the growth of extremely high purity, nearly defect-free bulk and epitaxial materials. The last section is devoted to exploitation of the knowledge described in the previous sections to highlight the spectrum of devices we see all around us. Provides a comprehensive global picture of the semiconductor world Each of the work's three sections presents a complete description of one aspect of the whole Written and Edited by a truly international team of experts

Download or read book Inventing the American Way written by Wendy L. Wall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of World War II, Americans developed an unusually deep and all-encompassing national unity, as postwar affluence and the Cold War combined to naturally produce a remarkable level of agreement about the nation's core values. Or so the story has long been told. Inventing the "American Way" challenges this vision of inevitable consensus. Americans, as Wendy Wall argues in this innovative book, were united, not so much by identical beliefs, as by a shared conviction that a distinctive "American Way" existed and that the affirmation of such common ground was essential to the future of the nation. Moreover, the roots of consensus politics lie not in the Cold War era, but in the turbulent decade that preceded U.S. entry into World War II. The social and economic chaos of the Depression years alarmed a diverse array of groups, as did the rise of two "alien" ideologies: fascism and communism. In this context, Americans of divergent backgrounds and beliefs seized on the notion of a unifying "American Way" and sought to convince their fellow citizens of its merits. Wall traces the competing efforts of business groups, politicians, leftist intellectuals, interfaith proponents, civil rights activists, and many others over nearly three decades to shape public understandings of the "American Way." Along the way, she explores the politics behind cultural productions ranging from The Adventures of Superman to the Freedom Train that circled the nation in the late 1940s. She highlights the intense debate that erupted over the term "democracy" after World War II, and identifies the origins of phrases such as "free enterprise" and the "Judeo-Christian tradition" that remain central to American political life. By uncovering the culture wars of the mid-twentieth century, this book sheds new light on a period that proved pivotal for American national identity and that remains the unspoken backdrop for debates over multiculturalism, national unity, and public values today.
